-GStreamer 0.3.2 "Do-B-day" released
 
-Release Notes
+                   GStreamer "GUADEC By Foot" 0.3.3 released
 
-   The  GStreamer  team  is  happy  to  announce  another  release of the
-   GStreamer  streaming-media  framework. GStreamer now contains close to
-   100  plugins for reading, writing and manipulating audio and video. We
-   are  rapidly  approaching  a  stable  set  of  libraries.  Our  sample
-   applications are, however, still under development.
-
-   We  now have a gst-all module prepared that includes all of our source
-   modules in one easy-to-compile package.
-
-Future Plans
-
-   Our goal for the next release is stabilizing and improving the current
-   feature  set  of  GStreamer further, including introducing an improved
-   autoplugger  module for even better handling of media formats. We will
-   also  focus  more  attention at our media player sample application as
-   this is the application most users and developers probably will use to
-   get aquinted with the framework.
+                           Preliminary release notes
 
-   For help building GStreamer, take a look at our build help document.
+   The  GStreamer  team  is  happy  to  announce  another  release of the
+   GStreamer  streaming-media  framework. This is our first release using
+   GLib  2.0  and  libxml2  as  the  sole  compile platform. We have also
+   started  including  all  our  documentation  in our RPMS starting this
+   release.   People   wanting   to   build   GStreamer  themselves  with
+   documentation should look at the DOCBUILDING file for some information
+   on what packages are needed to build that successfully.
+
+   Another new feature of this release is the gst-launch-ext command-line
+   application.  It  uses  predefined  pipelines to play back media files
+   based  on  their  file  extension.  This  means that you don't need to
+   construct your own pipelines using gst-launch if all you want to do is
+   play  a file. Just type gst-launch-ext [filename] and the audiofile or
+   movie  plays  for  you.  This  of course also being a work in progress
+   means  that  sometimes it might decide on the wrong pipeline, or cause
+   jitter, as well as random headaches.
+
+   For help building GStreamer, take a look at our [1]build help document
+   .
